Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.

I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Life can begin to feel overwhelming when you’re carrying stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship challenges, or self-doubt while still trying to show up for work, school, family, and everyone around you. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode — overthinking, emotionally drained, struggling to communicate their needs, battling negative self-talk, or feeling like they have to keep everything together even when they are struggling internally. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate it by yourself.

Healing does not mean becoming a completely different person. Often, it means learning how to care for yourself with more understanding, confidence, balance, and grace while creating healthier ways to move through life’s challenges. Whether you are navigating stress, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, burnout, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, therapy can be a space to pause, process, heal, and reconnect with yourself.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I would be honored to support you in your healing journey and help you move toward the version of yourself that feels more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported.

My own experiences with grief and loss eventually led me to do this work. I have a background working in inpatient palliative care where I learned to support patients with serious illness. My experience has helped me understand navigating the medical system and supporting individuals who are experiencing illness and loss. As a Latina of Mexican-American descent, I also see clients who prefer to do sessions in Spanish.

You replay conversations long after they're over. You shut down or say too much, then spend the day wishing you hadn't. You're not bad at relationships. You're anxious in them. You hold back. You give in to keep the peace, then quietly resent it. You want to be closer to the people you love. but something always gets in the way. It doesn't have to stay this way.
